Had a pretty good workout today and the legs felt ok but not 100%. I started to feel a slowdown later in the run which was akin to wearing brick shoes. Some mild soreness came back and even though it went away that tells me that there is still residual muscle damage that has not resolved. As Sasha would say, BUMMER.. It doesn't surprise me though considering how hard I ran St George last week. I probably will not be able to physically or mentally run another marathon like that for a while. So Im thinking about going a different direction once things are fully recovered. Like gearing my training towards more speed and 5k intensity work while running an occasional longer roadrace for fun. Once mid December hits I can start running more mileage and then use the winter series in place of other workouts. The jury is still out on this one though. / 5 mile PR TRAIL-28:31. / 1.5 VO2 untimed, est-5:10-5:15/mi. |
